Information: Reform wants to appoint party-loyal civil servants

If the British far-right party Reform UK forms a government, they will replace the top civil servant in each ministry with someone who is more loyal to the party line, The Guardian has learned.

Some of the civil servants would be replaced by outside candidates in the event of a change of government, others by civil servants considered more suitable by the party.

A party leader says that Reform's government should resemble the second Trump administration. They also want to implement changes through executive orders from the prime minister instead of legislation when possible, like Trump.

Doge employees: Do not regret mass layoffs

Two former employees of Elon Musk's pseudo-authority Doge say they do not regret that thousands of government employees lost their jobs because of their decisions. This is shown by recently published legal materials, according to ABC News.

In connection with a lawsuit, video clips of hearings of Doge employees Nate Cavanaugh and Justin Fox have been released for public viewing.

When asked whether he regrets that people may have lost their income, Cavanaugh answers no.

- I think it is more important to reduce the federal deficit from 2 trillion dollars to close to zero.

- Did you reduce the federal deficit? asks the lawyer.

- No, we did not, says Cavanaugh.
